Haha good stuff but i need bigger front tire to get all the grip possible. but with this setup.. I managed to have fun...

Front 29er really does the trick,, Good rolling over & love it man & give a bit of bravery boost.. At least for me.

Thanks to Northern MTB kings... Jitra lads, Alor Setar dudes & many more. They have done a great job to organize & prepared the trail for this event. Will do another time shortly... but this time.. more fat at the front.

Suddenly i feel the urge to start writin after i got some transaction goin for my previous post. yes. i kind of sold all my jerseys already hehe. Thanks to the buyers. Do come back , as ill be posting to sell more stuff . Im not going to use them, but still joining event here & there, so ill sell them to get some dough to upgrade or to go next event.

My last posting was several months back & since then ive been joinin many events & had many new fun time with my rigs. Now , at my dispose, i have 3 ready rigs for any events. My Secret weapon Top fuel, My Mr Big (29er) & My new reclassification 69 Nickel Boy. ( 26" Santa Cruz Nickel turned 69er). It somehow looks like Santa Cruz Tall boy.

Soon event will be
-Hardrockjeliride 2012
-Langkawi International MTB Challenge. ( bercito cito tinggi, tapi semput har har har. im to enjoy the event, i have plan to go for the past 2 years & never got through. Really hope this time Allah will grant me the permission. InsyaAllah.

Many people might have different interpretation on a thing. different angle & come from diff experience & condition. Many variables involved.

So for me, with some biking experience... X country means = go travel about with anything u can grab on, but to cover details & experience true state of natures & even cultures,, biking will be the best means.

As they cover most area. ( almost everywhere). U can go here & there, 70% ride on & 30% pikul on you.. or any other combination.
Somehow the bike will help & let u enjoy the area better. what do u think?? u decide..

Last weekend.

Wang Kelian to a village in Satun & N Back. Beautiful scenery. & if i travel by my mother trucker.. ill cover more area but.. less detail.

He He HE.. it was fun going through those nature rich country side like scene....SubhanaAllah.

too lazy to update 2nd part of Cameron & hardcore meleleh as my secrect weapon was injured & still in the hospital until today... what taking Trek too long to send parts... damn.

I did joined Peace Ride 12 hours Endurance organized by Radak Anventure .
It took place in beautiful scenery area near Gua Tempurung. I love riding there & amazed to find some many nice natural beauty area surrounding.

So that was it.. Heavy 29er but with some potential. & the biggest potential is to get fit & strong mybody side heheh

2 minutes after starting. my left arm crank unscrewed. hoh... & damn i was dead last after managed to retighten . Screwed up hehe .. but hei.. Endurance 12 hours.. anything can happen.. so slowly try to catch up the last person & managed at the first hill..

Stopped after 3 laps & had lunch. another round of lap to complete my target & stop again for prayer. ( just as SUnset ride started)

So final lap was a cruisin & torturing my body as i have 3.5 hours to go. SO dragged this DACT rider to go along slowly..
By 1830 we had completed our last lap & the champion finished just moment after that with 9 laps.. stupid...

So, it was fun, 12 hours.
The track was excellent.. looks nothing for a moment but when you had to circle it as many as you can.. it become tough.. never imagined it could be this tough.. many factor contributed.. hahah u know those..

I just tracked my third lap & here it was. slow pace lap.

My first endurance & i gues Malaysia first 12 hours endurance for MTB... i dont know.. looking forward to Ultra MArathon event... but need to be ft for those.

-planned pre day sleep= 6 hours ending up only 3 hours as need to get ready by 630
-planned to bike with 6 others but ending up only with 5 as the guide was not keen to ride on the day ( had something else to take care off ogso)

-planned to have fun for the first section of the trail.( habu to ringlet n to the sunlight kebun climb up n 8km DH to pos menson. ( missed the turn to sunlight factory where we start climbin to the peak before DH. Had to climb up extra mile.
How come we missed? The area had a facelift... Totally new with more kebun they had opened. Mampus..

-didnt planned anything but a week before = full of rain. N the day we came = no rain . but leftovers is still there.So..tanah merah = tanah lecah.
It was wet n full of mudd...so the DH section was with thick mud. 40cm deep. With pickup tires mark... Impossible to go faster,,,, n new skill had to learn... How to Dh in the mudd without toppling... Hehe it was full of fun.. Ape lai.. Jatuh le bang.. Menyungkur cium mud. It took us almost 1 hour to reach menson..( when it is dry u usually go 15-20 minutes dh..

Hahah
T be continued

17/1/2012 continue..

-Reached Menson & mingle around a bit.

-Hmm they had improve the area & tarmac all the way to the school.. & no more small fun for rolling section... there were 2 proton iswara there.. camno???

Reached School & the new adventure began.

CIkgu mad Bin Ibrahim wanna lead us to Kg Rening. According to him, the kg has everything, waterfall, kebun durian & so,, even the lubuk for ikan kelah. but the way to go will be tougher & no looping.. So , we decided to have a go & see what can we discover there. ( bye bye bukit meluat & nice expensive tea session)

We took right on the tarmac after Pos Menson school . About 5-10km passed Kg Leryar ( New build up tmn perumahan) & then turned left heading to Kg Telanok, Kg Teji, & one more kampung, & Kg Trakit, Kg Lemui & Kg Rening. It was deep in the jungle where we can see from the highway... & one sad news.. The area will be used to build a damn soon.( on going) So , i dunno when can we be able to experience those after all these.. sigh...

It was good mixture of tarmac & natural jungle road.
nice water fall & fruits yard.( most of the time DH) So... we were what the hell????? & no looping?? need to come back this way??? i saw several sour face already.. hehe.. ignorant is a bliss... that what i just did... heeheh

The route to Kg Rening is damn real for natural org Asli walking pathway.. Rolling single trail with no flat & NO easy surface to ride the bike on..

We didnt managed to reach Rening as once we reach Trakit, it was almost 1500. we need about 2 hours or more to go out to the main road i presumed.

2 of our guys decided to stay in one of the river & waited for us to go out. No looping.. old days it was there but the trail had been abandoned due to some reason unknown.

On the way out, we decided to call for rescue. Ill go out with the guide on his motorcycles & pick my pick up at Habu. The rest will wait at Kg Abu/ Kg Rengklas.

Anyway, we had to go out of the natural trail by bike before i can leave my bike & joined the guide.

There then when trailing i had this moment where my bike went "teng", or "beng".. snapping/ colliding sound. small sound.. checking around & I saw nothing wrong on my bike..

It took about 1hour to reach my car & another hour to get to them. ( As i slept by the road on the way back) to sleepy to drive.)

Loaded 6 bikes & 6 people on my lorry, went to Menson School for prayer , light refreshment & relaxing. & By 1900 we had reached habu. Repacking & sttuff & food time at Tanah Rata.

Decided to drop at Doli Taiping for another round of food intake, but we reached Taiping Exit at 2300 & we thought it was too late.

I reached my home by 0200 after sending all the passengers home.

The next day ( actually after several hours) The Hardcore meleleh event took place. Aha

We departed from Seberang jaya as early as 0530. (someone might be little earlier than that... salute))
& pickep up mr Usop at Gurun RnR & did our subuh there.

Around 0830, we gathered & started to roll.

It was bloggers meet . Myself, Pudin from Alor Setar , mr Kri from MTB on rock & the famous MR Adi arriman. hahah finally met mr Oman real life after months following virtually..& maybe there are more bloggers... sorry for not mentioning as these are the one i knew only.. my weakness... apologize in advance...
